Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a novel ultrasound technique for quantifying tissue elasticity. The aim of this study was to identify differences in atherosclerotic plaque elasticity measured using SWE among individuals with symptomatic, asymptomatic progressive and asymptomatic stable carotid plaques. Consecutive patients from the Atherosclerotic Plaque Characteristics Associated with a Progression Rate of the Plaque and a Risk of Stroke in Patients with the Carotid Bifurcation Plaque Study were screened for this research. Neurosonography examination of carotid arteries was performed to identify plaque stenosis of ≥50% using B-mode ultrasound and SWE imaging to measure the mean, maximal and minimal elasticity. The set consisted of 97 participants-74 with asymptomatic stable stenosis, 12 with asymptomatic progressive stenosis and 11 with symptomatic stenosis. The mean elasticity in the asymptomatic stable plaque group was significantly higher than in the asymptomatic progressive (52.2 vs. 30.4 kPa; p < 0.001) and symptomatic (52.2 vs. 36.4 kPa; p = 0.033) plaque groups. No significant differences were found between asymptomatic progressive and symptomatic (p > 0.1) plaque groups. Asymptomatic stable, asymptomatic progressive and symptomatic plaques did not differ in echogenicity, calcifications, homogeneity, occurrence of ulcerated surface, or intra-plaque hemorrhage (p > 0.05 in all cases). SWE was a helpful modality for differentiating between stable and unstable atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries.
